A network engineer is troubleshooting a site-to-site VPN that intermittently drops. The engineer configured IP SLA 10 to track reachability of the remote LAN gateway (10.1.2.1) using ICMP echo probes every 5 seconds. The IP SLA is used in a static route to influence failover. The engineer notices that the IP SLA state shows 'Active' but the tracked route is not installed. What is the most likely cause?
2An engineer configured IP SLA 20 to monitor the reachability of a next-hop router (192.168.1.1) using UDP jitter probes. The goal is to use the IP SLA with a track object to influence EIGRP route selection. However, the EIGRP route is not being affected by the IP SLA state. The engineer verifies that the IP SLA is 'Active' and the track object shows 'Up'. What is the most likely misconfiguration?
3A network engineer configured IP SLA 30 to monitor the reachability of a server (10.10.10.10) using ICMP echo probes. The IP SLA is linked to a track object that is used in a static default route. The engineer notices that the IP SLA state is 'Active', but the static route is not present in the routing table. The track object shows 'Up'. What should the engineer check first?
4An engineer configured IP SLA 40 with a UDP echo probe to monitor a remote server port 80. The IP SLA is used in a track object for a backup static route. The engineer observes that the IP SLA state is 'Timeout' even though the server is reachable via ping from the router. What is the most likely cause?
5A network engineer configured IP SLA 50 to monitor a remote router's loopback (5.5.5.5) using ICMP echo. The IP SLA is linked to a track object that is used in a PBR (policy-based routing) route-map. The engineer notices that the PBR is not applying the alternate path when the IP SLA goes down. The track object shows 'Down'. What is the most likely misconfiguration?
6An engineer configured IP SLA 60 to monitor the reachability of a WAN link's next-hop (203.0.113.1) using ICMP echo. The IP SLA is used in a track object for a floating static route. The engineer notices that the primary route (EIGRP) is present, but the floating static route is not installed when the primary fails. The track object shows 'Down' after the primary fails. What should the engineer check?
7A network engineer configured IP SLA 70 to monitor a remote site's LAN gateway (172.16.1.1) using ICMP echo. The IP SLA is linked to a track object that is used in a static route for a backup link. The engineer notices that the IP SLA state is 'Active', but the backup static route is installed in the routing table even when the primary route is available. What is the most likely cause?
8An engineer configured IP SLA 80 to monitor a remote server (192.168.100.100) using ICMP echo. The IP SLA is used in a track object for a static route. The engineer notices that the IP SLA state is 'Active', but the track object shows 'Down'. What is the most likely cause?
9A network engineer configured IP SLA 90 to monitor a remote router's loopback (10.0.0.1) using ICMP echo. The IP SLA is linked to a track object that is used in a static route. The engineer notices that the IP SLA state is 'Active', but the static route is not installed. The track object shows 'Up'. The engineer checks the routing table and sees a different route to the same destination with a lower administrative distance. What should the engineer do to ensure the IP SLA-tracked route is used when the primary fails?

68An engineer configures IP SLA with an ICMP echo operation to track a remote host, but the IP SLA responder is not configured on the remote router. The IP SLA operation shows 'Timeout' in the show ip sla statistics output. The engineer expects the operation to succeed because the remote host is reachable via ping. Which is the most likely explanation?
69A network engineer configures IP SLA tracking for a static route on a Cisco router. The IP SLA operation is configured with a threshold of 100 ms and a timeout of 5000 ms. The tracked object is configured with a delay of 5 seconds for both up and down transitions. The engineer notices that when the remote host becomes unreachable, the static route is not removed from the routing table immediately. Which is the most likely explanation?
70An engineer configures IP SLA with a UDP jitter operation to monitor VoIP quality between two routers. The operation shows 'OverThreshold' in the show ip sla statistics output, but the engineer notices that the IP SLA responder on the remote router is configured with a control port that does not match the default. Which is the most likely explanation?
71A network engineer configures IP SLA with an HTTP GET operation to monitor a web server. The operation shows 'Success' but the response time is extremely high. The engineer checks the web server and finds it is overloaded. The engineer wants to configure a threshold so that the IP SLA operation triggers a track object when the response time exceeds 500 ms. Which configuration change is required?
72An engineer configures IP SLA with an ICMP echo operation and tracks it with a static route. The IP SLA operation is configured with a source interface of Loopback0. The engineer notices that when the remote host becomes unreachable, the static route is removed, but when the remote host becomes reachable again, the static route is not reinstalled immediately. The show ip sla statistics shows the operation is 'Active' and 'Success'. Which is the most likely explanation?
73A network engineer configures IP SLA with a UDP echo operation to monitor a remote server. The IP SLA responder is configured on the remote router. The engineer notices that the operation shows 'Timeout' intermittently, but standard UDP connectivity tests from the router to the server succeed. The engineer checks the IP SLA responder configuration and finds that the control port is set to a non-default value. Which is the most likely explanation?
74An engineer configures IP SLA with an ICMP echo operation and uses it to track a static default route. The engineer also configures a backup static route with a higher administrative distance. The IP SLA operation is configured with a timeout of 2000 ms and a frequency of 5 seconds. The engineer notices that when the primary route is removed due to IP SLA failure, the backup route is installed, but when the IP SLA operation recovers, the primary route is not reinstalled. The show ip route shows the backup route still present. Which is the most likely explanation?
75A network engineer configures IP SLA with an ICMP echo operation to monitor a remote host. The engineer also configures a route map to set the next hop based on the IP SLA track object. The engineer notices that the route map is not applied to the routing table as expected. The show ip route shows the static route with the correct next hop, but the route map does not seem to affect the routing decision. Which is the most likely explanation?
76An engineer configures IP SLA with an ICMP echo operation and uses it to track a static route. The engineer also configures a backup static route with a higher administrative distance. The engineer notices that when the primary route is removed due to IP SLA failure, the backup route is installed, but when the IP SLA operation recovers, the primary route is not reinstalled. The show ip sla statistics shows the operation is 'Active' and 'Success'. The show track shows the track object is 'Up'. Which is the most likely explanation?
